i think i may have found the jackpot for recs.
my best friend from highschool's older sister is president of her house at a different school. i know she knows a lot of people in different sororities and i've known her since i was a kid so i think she'll be able to help me out.
hopefully this is good news for me.

yay :)

another note...
are there any other pnms out there that are as nervous about rush as i am? getting more recs (keep your fingers crossed) will help calm my nerves but i'm still super nervous and i don't even know why. anyone else feeling like this?

I'm an old lady now and I've always done my best when I was a little nervous.

Just thought I'd update anyone who answered previously:
I've successfully obtained recs for 6 of the 11 sororities. I know having all 11 would be better and I am still actively looking, but I'm glad that I now have twice the amount of recs that I had when I started this thread.
Keep your fingers crossed that a miracle happens and I find the last 5 within a week and a half! (Though I know this is unlikely)

I also feel like I have a much more positive attitude toward the whole situation now. Rush is gonna be nerveracking as I've heard from a few people, but if it's meant to be then I'll get in somewhere. :)

good job lbl! keep looking for those remaining recs. and good luck with your recruitment.

thanks :)

All of you guys have been so helpful.
